THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY .7' Exlivictsfi•enl the Morning Papers,March 16,1826, • [NEW TIMES.] A petition was last night presented to the Douse of Commons on the part of an individual, praying that all the Friendly Societies through out the kingdom might be placed under the di rection of ts Board of Commissioners. The sub. jest is one of considerable delicacy and import ante. It may be remembered that a Select Com mittee of the House of Commons was last year appointed, which took evidence, and presented a Report on the laws respecting these Societies. From that Report we made some extracts at the time ; and there is a mass of valuable matter in the evidence and appendix, which may throw 'some light on the object of the petition above. mentioned. We are not very friendly 'to the establishment of any public Board for the purpose of exercising a direct influence in the ordinary management of Societies of this description, which is generally better left to the members themselves. There are, how ever, many points in which the advice and direc tion of experienced Commissioners might be of .immese advantage. As the rules of Friendly So cieties, if well formed, may be extremely advan tageous to the members, so, if ill drawn up, they may lead to much disappointment and loss : and with a view to protect the individuals from these evils, the Legislature has given to the Justices in Session a power of confirming or disallowing their rules. Many Magistrates have taken most lauda ble pains to acquire the information necessary for the effectual discharge of this duty ; but when we come to consider the various contingencies against which the Societies are meant to pro vide, and tile _nice and complicated calculations applicable to some of their rules, we can easily believe that gentlemen of extensive information may not always feel themselves competent to the decision of such questions. The Societies often employ unskilful persons to draw up their rules, and:the Magistrates in disallowing such rules, have, doubtless, saved the members from much inconvenience ; but where greater skill is exer ciSed, the errors, though less obvious, may in the end prove equally fatal : and it is for the de tection of such errors, that a general Board might probably be of considerable utility. We pre sume that such a Board would comprise indivi duals of scientific habits ; that its labours would be directed to the establishment of sound principles for the formation of new, or correc tion of existing institutions ; and it would ob viously be advantageous in introducing a uni formity of system throughout the country, with such diversities only us might be required by local circumstances. We know not whether the petition presented last night was founded on the views here stated, but we thick the subject of sufficient importance to demand attention in many of its aspects. Au Honourable Member, we perceive, is about to bring in a Bill founded upon the Report of last year; and we have no doubt it will be found to embrace all the useful suggestions contained in that document. [MORNING POST.] Our readers have already reaped the abundant harvest of cheerfuluess and hope, which the proud and triumphant statement of the Chancel- Jur of the Exchequer spread before them. His westerly and eloquent exposition of the financial, resources of the country, present and prospec has dispelled the temporary gloom which passing circvmstances had diffused, and Which indefatigable faction had em. played every malevolent artifice to thicken into 'darkness. For every friend of his country there is still left, after he shall have ar ranged and treasured up in the garner of ids mind the rich harvest of triumph and of joy, no inconsiderable, gleaning of satisfaction, in mark . 'lug the paltry pretences, the shallow subterfuges, the feeble or demolished fastnesses, in which the shruuk and discomfited champions of despon dency or discontent vainly seek a momentary re• treat. To point out the lurking places of these combatants thus unmercifully chased from the field of their late exploits and their anticipated glory, - , is . enough ; any vigorous effort to tear down the frail and transparent harrier behind which they strive to •hide their confusion, would be as cruel es it is unnecessary. Firit, then, , the Chancellor of the Exchequer has only stated the falling off in tine Excise Duties for the first month of this year, the deliciericy considering; the circum stances of the country being surprisingly small, and has refrained from tiny Statement of the pro ceeds of the following month. The account of this one month is, it seems, a fallacious and in sufgoieta basis on which to assume that the whole deficiency of revenue in the current year will not exceed 1,300,tX)0/, and moreover there are cer- OM very wise people who think it will be nearer three millions, In the dearth of arguments by which to propagate doubt and dismay, who can deny that this topic is judiciously selected ? It is certainly the largest straw within reach of the drowning faction ; but yet it will he found to be really ho more than a straw. The Chancellor spoke of. the deficiency of Excise Duties received In the month of January, amountieg to little more than 2,0001, as presenting in the circum. • stances of tire country, a sort of fiscal miracle. But was this the basis of his anticioa lion as to the general amount of revenue for the whole year ? The cavil assumes that It was, But the arithmetic of the cavillers has failed them in this instance, or they would have perceived that the defalcation of January in Ex cise revenue bears to the average monthly de. (ideation of the whole year anticipated and al loWed• for by the Chancellor, the very insignifi cant proportion of about one to twenty. Th e f act ilty of memory must also have deserted thorn teem this occasion, or th ey could not have for gotten t hat the anticipetion was declared to be f oun d e d u pon a general view of all existing cis.- that a claim to confidence was cumstances, and urged by the Chancellor, upon the very intelli• gibje and satisfactory ,;round, that all his former anticipations had been not only realized but exceeded. But, then, the Funds, alas, have fal len one per cent, and this we are told amounts to a proof that the statement of the Minister has inspired no confidence in the country. We con fess we have hitherto been so ignorant as to sup pose that the relative proportions of supply and demand possessed some influence in the market for Government securities, as well as in every other market. This error of ours is now to be corrected, and we are to learn, for the first time, that a reduction in the price of a particular de scription of securities, on the prospect of an in creased supply, is to be referred exclusively to an abatement of confidence. We shall be taught, no doubt, by the same enlightened instructors, in the event of an unusually plentiful crop, and consequent decline in the price of wheat this summer, that the confidence of mankind in the nutritious qualities of that article is sensibly im paired. We have selected these topics for ob servation, not because we deemed them worthy in themselves even of this momentary notice, but because they are the strongest rallying points to which the faction, whose occupation it has been to spread dismay throughout the country, has betaken itself in its despair. If such be its ~strong holds, who does not feel that it would be an ignoble warfare to pursue it into its still weaker defences ? [MORNING HERALD.] It often happens that those who have been contending warmly for victory in argument, find at last that both themselves and their opponents are, to a certain degree, right, and neither of them wholly wrong. This, we think, is precisely the Case with those who contend so positively on the one hand that the increase of criminals in most of the counties is mainly owing to the demoralizing effects of the Game Laws, while, on the other, the same effect is attributed to the low price of agricultural wages, and the consequent distress which it entails. Both these parties, we believe,are right ; which is entitled to the palm of pre-eminence in a rivalry so little creditable, we should be slow to decide. But this we must say, that we know of nothing which can reflect so little credit upon the high, and, we hope, humane and amiable charac ter of English country gentlemen, as the appa rent apathy with which they can witness the ex• istence of two such melancholy subjects of oppression and injustice as those here alluded to present. We know not which is most to be reprobated, he who can see a paltry, selfish amusement secured to him by antiquated laws, which bring misery and ruin upon those who are entitled to look to him for justice and protection, or those who secure their own rents by lending their authority, as Magistrates, to keep down the price of labour and of parochial relief be low what will, in many cases, afford a bare sustenance to those by the sweat of whose brow their own revenues are maintained. To see country gentlemen getting up in Parliament, and arguing with cold indifference upon misery of which they are themselves the cause, does, we confess, convert the respect we wish to feel to wards them into a feeling which we are as loath to characterize as to entertain. Of the demora lising effects of the Game Laws no reasonable man can doubt. Besides these effects upon the lower classes, there is not one among those who con tend from their continuance, who, if he con sults his own breast, does not know that he is himself demoralized and degraded by them— that the constant bickerings and ill-will they in volve him in are the source of unceasing vexation to himself ; while, as a landlord, a neighbour, and a friend, they lessen his worth and import ance every day of his life. The price of labour may be a more difficult subject to deal with ; but on this he will find, that if he had taken half the pains to do justice to the labourer that l►e has to please the farmer . and maintain his own revenue•, he would ► perhap., have attained both objects, while he has sacrificed the one, and en damgered the other. , pacss.] There seems to be a strong impression amongst many experienced and influential men in the City against the proposed plan for the funding of Exchequer Bills ut this particular period ; and although we •do not see what better course the Finance Minister, under the peculiar circum stances of the country, could adopt, we will give the reasons that were freely spoken of yesterday in opposition to it. It was stated, that, as far as the Exchequer Bills in the hands of the public are concerned, to fund them is to take out of circula tion u quantity of commercial currency —paper, Which, in many instances, performs the pur poses of money. As far as the Exchequer Bills in the hands of the Bank are concerned, to pay them off it will be necessary to withdraw for a time from circulation money itself. The opponents of this measure say it is not a fit time to divert the capital and attention of monied men from advances for commercial purposes, to which their interest would otherwise lead them. The Government should not go into the Market to borrow, at the moment when the difficulty of borrowing is already too much felt in the mer cantile world. 'Whenever operations of finance— borrowing, and funding, and the like—are con ducted upon a large scale, the public, that is to say, the gn at body of tax payers, represented by the Exchequer, suffer. It is difficult to get toge- Aer six millions for any stlch operation, and in proportion to time difficulty must, of course, be the premium or bonus to the contractors. The way, too, in which money is got together for a particular purpose by these persons is by a forced sale of stock ; so that, in the very operation of collecting the money, the Go. vernment annuities (the very commodities which the Government sell) fall in price. This oc. curred on the very first notice of the intention of funding. Hence the Government, which sells the perpetual annuities or " stock," loses upon the operation ; first by the low price to which the efforts of the contractors to collect money force that stock, and secondly, by the premium which these contractors require for the command of an unusually large sum of money. 11111.; TIM ES . The statemptiti mode by r. Wilmot Horton tne emigrationo to Culiadnt respecting are calcu lated to give birth to the most painful reflections. Hitherto the strength of a country was believed to consist in its population • and the opinion was at once founded on reason;dear to philanthropy, and sanctioued by religion : but now it is disco vered that we shall be the stronger for ba nishing a portion of our fellow-creatures, who have as great a right to live on and from their native laud, as the proudest. He that treads its surface. The cost incurred in con veying Irishmen and their families to Canada amounted to 224 a head ; and Mr. Maccul lock being consulted on the subject, gave it as his opinion that 801. would be judiciously laid out in conveying a man, his wife, and two children to North America, on the horrible con dition " that measutes were taken to prevent the 44 gap they left from being filled up again."— What wretch was he, and of what crimes con victed,—at Ephesus, we believe,—whose very house was sentenced to be razed to the ground, and an injunction issued that the spot should be for ever uninhabited and unbuilt upon ? But if Mr. Maccullock's notions be well founded re specting a redundant society—that is, a society for which the benevolence of Providence would find ample support, but which the iniquity of 1 ` human counsels condemns to penury,—why is not infanticide sanctioned by law ? Why is vaccination, by which the subjects of a country are so evidently increased, introduced and en couraged ? Heaven protect us from such a politi• cal economist as Mr.Maccullock, and from booby statesmen who consult him ! 'With respect to our connection with Canada, we believe the effects of these emigrations will he most mischievous.— The fidelity of that province rests chiefly on the hatred of its inhabitants to the Americans, and the diversity of language existing between the two people: but these germs of division will be extin. guished if we transport settlers who speak the same language with the Americans, and feel themselves to be equally injured by the mother country. [MOKNING CHRONICLE.] The Courier is quite mistaken it he supposes that we doubt the advantage to the destitute , poor of Ireland to be removed at the expence of , the nation to Canada. But the happiness of the individuals removed to Canada was not the question which the House on Tuesday night was called on to consider. The question properly was, will the scale on which alone the Govern meta will conduct emigration, have any effect worth mentioning in diminishing the cause of Ireland's distrest, namely, a large and excessive population, of which a large part is without em ployment, and to which every year an addition is made, more than sufficient to replace many times the small number which can be transported to Canada ? The population of the Highlands of Scotland is not quite 400,000; and yet, we will venture to say, beside the large emigrations every year from the Highlands to the large towns in the Lowlands, as Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock, Aber deen, Dundee, &c., emigrations take place to Ame rica from that quarter toe greater extent, than the removals at the expence of Government from Ire land to Canada, leaving the population of the High lands still greatly beyond the wants of the coun try. The truth is, that there is no limit but that of the means of subsistence on the lowest scale, to the increase of a population in so low a state of civilization us the Irish and the Highlanders. Greatly as the Irish have iucreased in a century (from one to seven millions), yet it is the abso lute want of food which has prevented that number from being still higher. As it is the food which regulates the number, the removal of a few thousands will have no effect whatever on the ordinary increase. If Mr. Horton means to be charitable, that is another question—but with reference to the relief and amelioration of Ire land, his petty emigration plan is mere drivelling. [TUT REPRESENTATIVE.] The Times of yesterday advances some propo 'kiwis, in the usual style of discouragement, illicit we think deserving of notice. Unable to disprove the gratifying fact of the unimpaired state of the Revenue fur the last year, and for the mouths that have passed of the present, it rests the declaration of actual distress and disappointment upon the fall in the Funds, which has occurred since the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exche quer. Now, for our own part, a know ledge of the various motives by which the Stock Exchange is influenced, leads us to attach little importance to this trilling depression ; for, while we find that the Revenue chews undimi nished production and consumption at the same rate of taxation, we are assured that our national securities must have u tendency to reach a deno initiation nearer to that whi c h t h ey b ore before the late derangement in the Money'market. Th us, as a rise in the Funds formed no p ar t o f the matesesti of o t u h r e fi ktr;axtotchieatilahlefra, we do not very readily present e d by the Cha ncel or of see that the depression throws any doubt upon their accuracy. Great capitalists have such means of operating upon the funds, for their own tem porary purposes, that the ephemeral price can never be taken as a standard of national pro sperity. As a better test, we would ask, whe ther there it not a general resumption of manu facturing employment, and of every sp ec i es o f commercial industry ? The public will be much obliged to the Miles for the explanation of the process of funding Exchequer Bills ; but surely there can be no hope of concealing from the mast obtuse understanding, that if a given sum per annum be applied to diminish a given species of debt, a positive reduction of that debt must he the consequence. The Times finding, too, th a t the twenty-seven millions of taxes which have been taken off since the peace, may he considered as the burthen of the war, and that a charge of twenty-six millions is still incurred for our esta blishments generally, judiciously brings the two sums together, and concludes that the tenth year of peace costs us nearly as much as " putting down Buonaparte." This is really curious, from excess of absurdity. Did not our present esta blishments form part of our war charges ? and is not therefore the expence of putting down Bun naparte ,fifty.tb", m inions, not twentpseven ? In opposition to such unfair and absurd 'comparisons, the people of England have the satisfaction to know, that if the expenditure during war was unavoidably immense, the re duction of establishment, and the relief from taxation, have proceeded with a rapidity, and reached points, that the most sanguine could not have anticipated. If the payment of the National Debt be not a mere chimera, a reduction of revenue, because at a reduced and bearable rate of taxation the receipt continues to improve, appears a manifest absurdity. Let us suppose, that at the present rate of general tax ation a surplus of twenty millions were to exist, would not the application of this surplus to li quidating the debt be the natural and honest course of proceeding ? And if reduction of taxa tion always accompany increase of receipt, can the nation ever be relieved from the annual charge of the interest ? or from the undeniable evil for a debt, the very enormity of which has the. effect of withdrawing attention from its existence ? [THE PUBLIC LEDOER.I Neither the Paris Papers of Monday, which reached us last night, nor German Journals, which arrived in the earlier part of yesterday, contain any intelligence of the least importance. The political atmosphere is not only clear and serene, but is likely to remain so. The storm which, at the beginning of the year, threatened to sweep the whole extent of the Russian Empire, appears to have wholly spent its force ; but the impression, which it was calculated to make on the Rulers of that country, is not likely to die away so soon. They have found out that a vast military force may be attended with other inconveniences besides the enormous expence of maintaining it ; and there is a report that it means to profit by this experience. It is absurd at this time to keep up large armies for purposes of conquest, for the Sovereign who should be tray such a design, would immediately see all the other Powers of Europe joined in close array against him. Such an unwieldy establishment is as useless, with the view of acquiring a preponderating influence in the af fairs of the world ; for, by exhausting the strength of the • State, and absorbing the whole of the Public Revenue, it may be compared to a lever far too ponderous for the hand that wields it. To move it, would soon exhaust the means of the Government ; and to leave it unemployed, is not without its dangers, as we have seen in the recent history of Russia. The result will be, that a vast reduction in the present military establishment of that empire will probably be carried into effect as soon as possible. The other Powers would not be slow in following such an example ; and we need not point out the salutary influence that this general impulse would have on the political relations of all Europe. It is our firm persuasion that a great re volution, as respects the policy of keeping up cumbrous military establishments, is near at hand ; and that a plan of national defence infinitely less expensive, and far more efficient, will be substituted in plate of the present. This would realize the fine dream of the benevolent Abbe St. Pierre, as it would be a deathblow to wars of aggression ; and we do not think our selves at all Quixotic in thinking that the philo sophy of this age will be able to achieve this grand moral victory. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. PRIVATE BII d COMIIIITTEES. PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS. That the present distribution of Counties, for the purpose of forming Committees on Private Bills, prepared under the di rection of the Speaker some years ago, has, from the great in equality of the numbers of Members contained in each List, and, from other causes, been found ill suited to the object for which it was framed. That, with a view more nearly to equalize numbers, and to correct too strong a . prevalence of local interests on Committees on Private Bills, it is expedient that a new distribution of Coun ties should be made, containing in each list, as nearly as may be, one hundred and tw e nty M em b ers : one half only, or there abouts, to be taken from the County immediately connected with the object of the Bill, and the adjoining Counties ; and the other half from oth er C ount i es of Great Britain and Ire land ; and that the Members serving for such Counties should constitute the Committee on each Bill.

RESURRECTION MEN. LEEDS, MARCII 14.—0 n Sunday night, of early yesterday morning, the body of a young lady, named MARTHA ODDY, about 15 years of age, which had been interred on Friday, was stolen from the burial ground, adjoining Annie!' Chapel. The manner in which this robbery Was committed was altogether diabolical and disgust. ing. Intent only upon their object of plunder, the wretches took no pains even to prevent a dis. covert' of their guilt, and left behind them the most heart-rending tokens of their brutality and insensibility. The grave was discovered open about seven o'clock yesterday morning, the coffin lid was split in two, the inscription plate torn off, and the linen which had wrapped the deceased, as well as her hair comb, were scattered about the grave. Adjoining the grave was a large stone two feet long and one foot wide, which it is sup posed had been used by the depredators for the purpose of breaking the lid of the coffin, es a small nail was found firmly adhering to the end of it. A paper containing two lozenges, drePPf d s no doubt, by the villains, was found at the foot of the grave. Three men were met a little after midnight on the road between ArmleY and Leeds, riding in front of a small light cart; It it also said, that at half-past five o'clock yeslerd B l, morning, a new box, about a yard and a Part e ' long,' was put upon the Telegraph coach by two men, at a place not far from the Leeds work' house. Upon the strength of this intelligencel Mr. Clark, the Constable of Armies?, has l e,, f/ , town for Newcastle, where it is expected h e w"' arrive before the departure of the T elegraph from Newcastle to Edinburgh this morning.
